Amino Acid analysis of intellan, a herbal product used in enhancing brain function.

Analysis of the drug "INTELLAN" and two reputed plants i.e. Centella asiatica and Herpestis monniera used in the preparation of the drug reveals that glutamic and aspartic acids are present in high concentration in the drug and are also required by brain in high concentration to keep itself in higher gears. Both these amino acids are used as neurotransmitters and also in stabilizing and stimulating the activities of brain, thus resulting in better performance.

Ventilatory functions in pregnancy.

The apparatus used was a dry bellows spirometer and a Wright's peak flow meter. Statistical analysis using the student's t test showed a significant reduction in peak expiratory flow rate, forced vital capacity and first second forced expiratory volume in the third trimester compared to controls. Besides, mid-expiratory flow rates were significantly lower in the first trimester. Spirometric performance was reduced in all three trimesters when compared to controls, although values were within physiological limits. This reduction may assume importance in patients with associated diseases or those requiring surgery.
